MIDDLETOWN -- Lauren Patricia Daly, the 41-year-old pediatrician charged with shooting her former domestic partner on Memorial Day, was held over for trial Tuesday after a preliminary hearing in Lima District Court.

At the request of Delaware County Assistant District Attorney Mary Mann, Magisterial District Court Judge Walter A. Strohl tacked on five new charges to the seven Daly was already facing, including counts of attempted homicide, aggravated assault and simple assault.

Daly's attorney, Michael Malloy, did not object.

According to Pennsylvania State Police, Daly shot her former partner multiple times through the windshield of her black Volvo while their 11-year-old son was sitting in the passenger seat outside Daly's home in the 200 block of North Middletown Road.

The victim, a 49-year-old woman from Lower Merion Township, was struck in the face and torso and drove herself to Riddle Memorial Hospital. She was later transferred to Crozer-Chester Medical Center.

According to police, Daly was angry because her partner, who came to the home to drop off their 9-year-old daughter, refused to let her speak to their son.

The new charges reflect the older child's proximity to the shooting.

A doctor at A.I. du Pont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., Daly is charged with two counts of attempted homicide, four counts of aggravated assault, two counts of simple assault, two counts of reckless endangerment, and one count of endangering the welfare of a child.

The victim briefly described the shooting in court, stating that Daly was standing near the front of her car on the passenger side when she arrived to drop off their daughter shortly before 7 p.m. on Memorial Day.

She said the doctor did not display the gun for a few minutes, until she was standing in front of the Volvo.

"She was standing in front of my car with a gun pointed at me," she said. "She fired the gun at me. I heard five shots."

The victim, who had visible scarring below her mouth, said she was treated for 10 wounds at the hospital, five from the gunshots. Pennsylvania State Police recovered a 9 mm handgun from outside Daly's house.

Malloy referred to the shooting as a domestic incident, alluded to a custody agreement between the women and an argument that occurred between the time the victim arrived and the time she was shot.

"There's a lot more going on in front of that vehicle than we all want to discuss today," he said.

Strohl refused a request to lower Daly's bail, set at $2 million. While Malloy said the bail was "punitive" for a first-time offender and higher than some murder defendants he has represented, Mann said a potential jail sentence of more than 20 years made Daly more of a flight risk.

"In speaking to the trooper, it's my understanding that the defendant's new girlfriend, who she would go and reside with, has a gun in her house," Mann said.

At the start of the hearing, Mann told Strohl she had approached Malloy and communicated that "the commonwealth would be willing to make an offer to this defendant" if she waived her preliminary hearing.

Malloy said he discussed the possibility with his client and that Daly was not interested in a deal.

An arraignment is scheduled for July 17 in Delaware County Common Pleas Court before Judge Michael F. Coll. Mann said she would be petitioning the court for an earlier date.
